Peyton Manning has been known for some of the most epic choke-jobs in NFL history, and he's set to finish his career with perhaps the finest of all-time.
There simply is no one better at carving up bad teams, as Peyton has demonstrated throughout his career, and most notably this year.
5-0 and a historic rate of scoring are setting us up for an epic post-season. The defense isn't all that great, the running game is terrible, and basically...we've been here before. Probably ten times.
Contenders for Peyton's demise:
1. Seattle -- This is the most likely scenario. Peyton playing outside in New Jersey, in February against an unbelievable defense.
2. SF -- Same story, different team
3. KC -- It's un-likely that KC is "for real" enough to hold off Peyton in the playoffs. That being said, this team will get the opportunity to play him twice in the regular season...
4. Cincinnati -- Dalton vs Manning is no contest. But Cincy's defense is legit, and if their offense can come together, they could get it done.
5. New England -- Right now...Manning wins by 40. By the post-season? We've already seen some of Brady's new weapons get better as the year has gone on. The return of a healthy Amendola, Gronkowski and Vereen should greatly bolster this young group of wide-outs that are getting a trial by fire. Aaron Dobson stinks right now as a primary or secondary option. But as that 5th option that sneaks open downfield? I like it. Plus, the Pats have a legit shutdown cornerback in Talib. Yeah, they lost big Vince, but Denver can't run anyway.
